How to Unlock components from the command line (or script).

Hi Chuck,

You could use ULP and write an unlock function to retrieve the X and Y coordinates of each refdes passed as a parameter and then exit with LOCK (S X Y) for each one but I don't know of an existing command.

Hi Chuck,

I expect you've got this sorted now anyway but I've added another ULP to my library to create an unlock command. The usage is:

RUN unlock LED1 LED2 LED3

You can find the detail here if you would like it: EAGLE ULP Utilities Library

There is a link to the GIT repository containing my library near the top, the usage instructions for all my released library utilities are documented on that page.

Best Regards,

Rachael

Snip.....

Ugggh, the Element14 -> NNTP bridge really mangled that one very badly,

sorry about that....

You can find the documentation for my EAGLE ULP library here:

And the GIT repository is here:

Good morning, Rachael,

It's interesting that this thread has come back to life after over a

year.  I still haven't found a native way of unlocking, and have to

resort to writing a ULP.  I figured that your code would be a good place

to start, but it turns out that gitlab.com isn't taking requests.

Do you have another stash for your utilities?

Thanks,

Actually, I just found it on another machine.  Version 0.1 alpha 1

Hi Chuck,

I'm not sure why GitLab isn't working for you, it seems to be fine for me.

I can send you a copy of the repository, no problem. Do you still have the same email address? If so I can send you a copy to there

Best Regards,

Rachael
